Why the fuck is weed the most expensive agricultural product in history? It’s a weed. I can get a pound of fine quality Ceylonese tea for 12 dollars. That’s about how much weed should be, the labor is comparable.

That means an eight should be about ten cents if it was priced honestly. Instead, it’s 40 DOLLARS.
